You can't oppose cheap corn simply by getting rid of the subsidies that compensate farmers for part of the reductions since 1953 to cheap corn, because subsidies didn't cause the cheapness. The reduction and elimination of price floors (& supply reductions, as needed) caused it, and subsidies didn't start for corn until 1961, and they've been only about 1/6 of the market price reductions ($0.2 trillion out of reductions of $1.1 trillion). Mere subsidy elimination maintains cheap corn.

@reallyurstupid - fuck you asshole, I can reply to a comment if I want.
The only reason folks feel the are 'being lied to or not being given the proper information' is because they are too lazy/stupid to see what is right in front of their face.
What, do you expect some mommy to take the package of GMO cookies out of your cart?
Quit buying food made with GMO ingredients idiot, you are funding the problem.
@pweigert1972 I wish everyone would do that. Smartest thing to do. And it's easy. We can plant a whole salad worth of veggies in a big pot. It's our best weapon. Even better than guns.
@reallyurstupid What is scary is that you believe that shit. Look, there was a time when they were trying to figure out how to feed the world because of over population and now that they found a way people are bitching about how they are doing it. Just proves that you can't make everybody happy. People have a choice, let them make their on minds up of what they want and stop trying to run their lives
I'd really hate to ask this, but I live in upstate New York, and while I live near Albany, when I visit my family, I drive past dozens and dozens of farms with their cows hanging out on large pastures grazing on the grass to their hearts' delight. If the milk and the beef come from cattle who live in terrible, dark boxes all their lives, where do the products of all these happy cows go to? I don't mean to be rude, but it's bothering me.
@ABookwormAndProud Those products go to organic supermarkets, online companies and resutraunt and hotels. Some groccerey stores carry certain organic brands
so we can choose what we want to eat and i'll encourage people who's having that way of growing healthy with all the respect of all and i'm not judging some farmers cause wowwwww i saw how they are struggeling but want to change it and we have the power to change all this !!!! So i'll look around my country for all organic food and farms too ! That is the only way to stick into respect love and healthy i'll do my best to find people who want that life too ! Love you ! xxx
Yes soooo incredible and my mom had the meat bacteria and almost die ... But here i don't talk about the bad one or victim one cause it is a battle that people cain't really change and feel sooo sad lives because of powerful people and $ but i really believe that if we all concentrate put all of our energy from our heart about all the respect of animals workors and heallth wowwww where is the sacredness of food the native people always knew how !
@SYLVIEBING But we all CAN change it with the food choices that we make. Buy all organic fruits and veges, free range chickens and grass fed beef. Then all of the bad companies would go out of business. Its all about supply and demand.
It is about being lazy! If someone wants to go to the drive through instead of cooking then its nobodies fault except theirs. You know, the problem with the free world is that we have it so good that we have nothing better to do but to bitch. Some maybe for good reasons but most, i bet, are something someone made up to cause problems. There was a time, i must amitt, that there was a problem with the food supply but all that has changed for the better. People needs to stop playing the victim
Meh, people need to stop blaming others and take responsibility for what they put into their mouths. Fat people made themselves fat (Most of the time).
yeah organic food is good. and so is the bad food. there is a way of stopping it but it isnt being stopped yet. me buying bulk quantities of organic food hasnt made a difference yet. change will come soon but its going to have to take more than that.
everyone needs to chill out. the bad food is bad and the good food is bad. there is no way of stopping it!!!! we all know its wrong. we will all be eating soylent green soon anyways.
@EmoAnneFrank That is an incorrect assumption. The bad food is indeed bad, but organic food is great. And there are hundreds of thousands of ways to stop it, and they're all in your control. Demand and purchase organic. non-gmo and locally farmed food. The bigger the demand, the bigger the supply will be.
These people are bullshitting. Buying fast food everyday is far more expensive than cooking your own food. They're making excuses. The director could have been a little more honest and revealed the math rather than just saying X cost more up front while Y cost less. Why not say in the long run, buying X is cheaper than Y? Other than that small issue, it's a good movie.
I can remember back in the mid 70's in first grade they were teaching that smoking and junk food is bad, so its no secret, EVERYBODY KNOWS! Industry is going to give the people what the WANT. Can you blame them? So you can't blame the Goverment or big buisness, you have to blame the people cause if they didn't buy that burger, Burger King wouldn't be there. Am i wrong?
@kenfla2 At the very end of this documentary they make that exact point. They said something like we can vote on this, and in fact we vote three times a day. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Today I sliced open a red firm but ripe tomato. Inside the tomato all the seeds were already growing. The tomato was juicy and tasty(minus the seeds that I pulled out and replanted to experiment further). Then I wondered; Should I have eaten this, are our tomatoes a genetic makeup too? This is certainly not normal!
This video educated me on FOOD (period).... I am looking for a good local farmers market, and I would like to eat organic from now on. Thank you FOOD Inc....
i think its great to have more and more information about things that is not shared with the public, the government likes to have control over everything and they do what they can to hide stuff all we see on t.v. is celebritys or who got shot they dont share much with us about what goes on with food its all about making money if we really knew what was going on we would all starve..=)
@gvi341984 The options are not eating hyper-processed food or starving, they are anywhere on a spectrum between eating hyper-processed all the time (with high risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes etc) and eating fresh, local, seasonal, and unprocessed (a lot healthier but more expensive and difficult). If we could move a little towards the local, seasonal and unprocessed side, it would be very good for people and the environment.
good lucl trying to convince politicians to go vegan FDA peeps will just come up with a 5,000 word essay or something like that that is irelevant n dosen't address any issues which they'll win n make more money mean while more people get fucked up n the govounament willl continue to commit animal n human genocide
i am proud of meh self im only 15 and i manage t control my eating by only eat good foods and just watch other eat junk food. hahaah food inc beat meh now in makeing meh eat your fatty junkey food >:O you sick company
@jupiterscastle You don't have to go vegetarian to reduce your contribution to Big Industrial Food and its assault on our health. Just try shopping around the perimeter of the grocery store, where the real food is, and avoid the processed crap in the middle aisles. Reducing your meat consumption would benefit animals, the environment, and your own health, but you don't have to eliminate it entirely to do some good.

that guy is saying the lettuce costs more than a dollar and a burger is like saves more money or w/e. look at it this way. A burger alone will last you a meal but they lettuce will last a few days and you wont have to keep going out buying more stuff..
The "poor" people shown at the beginning, think that fast food is cheaper than good food. Spending $11 on one meal is insane. WW bread, PB and water? Hard Boiled eggs & apples? Just bringing your own water would have saved them money & been more healthy. They have a really nice van and their oldest daughter has braces! Poor? Unfortunately, these people represent today's society.
I would be inclined to agree with you on this one. I would be able to buy them beans, rice, a tomato and tortillas and give them a cup of water, and I bet you I could keep it healthy and under $11. The question is, would they be willing to eat it day in and day out?
@LegalAlien100 Why not? Plenty of people eat burgers and fries day-in, day out - If I had to choose one it would definitely be the beans and rice! But no-one has to choose one of the other for ever, there is a far greater variety of healthier food available - even at $11 - than there is of fast food.
@Nephtys80 I think that it is about expection. People only eat the same neccesities day in and day out because they can't afford anthing else. When the cultural expections demand more variety and fat it is hard to sell the idea of a basic diet to its members. Having seen the damage caused by this 'rich' alternantive I too would choose the beans and rice diet anyday. Most people are pick though and expect more.
The reason unhealthy foods are cheaper is because those are the foods people buy. Just buy healthy foods lol. If you hate how cows and chickens are treated in feed lots, buy lamb or another animal that can't be put into a feed lot because they eat sensibly. If you hate Monsanto's monopoly, buy organic, but you can't blame McDonalds and Wal-Mart for giving customers what they continue to buy.
you have a point. but consider this: if organic/healthy food was advertised as agressivly & available as easily as junk food, what do you think people would buy?
Probably still junk food. I think everyone knows junk food is bad for you, but the fact is junk food is cheaper. You can buy many more hamburgers than carrots for the same amount of money. Some people just can't afford to buy organic and healthy food.
yes. that's another major point. and also, people who eat junk a lot get hooked on the taste, so veggies and other healthy stuff start tasting awful. + the sugar rush you get out of junk food. so it's all kinda like a drug. Wonder what's worse for your health (or more addictive) pot or junk food?
@jasonfkg Re: affording organic and healthy food - looking at standard portion sizes (and belly sizes) these days and comparing them to standard portion sizes 50 years ago, I'd say one good way for people to reduce how much they need to spend on food is to stop eating so damn much of it. Not that many people will.
@jasonfkg The reason why unhealthy foods are cheaper is not because they are the foods that people buy, it is because the government subsidies are concentrated on corn and soy and not on vegetables. That is why corn is fed to animals, because it is cheap. Thus meat is cheap.
If we want to improve our health as a nation we have to seriously look at what these subsidies are doing to our agriculture as a whole.
I think simplifying the reason why junk food is cheaper down to one factor is a bit much. The government isn't evil. It wants the maximum income, just like any other business, so it can build roads, etc. If we stop buying junk food, the government will probably stop subsidizing it seeing there is no longer any market.
well, if you want maximum income at, basically, any cost - that is pretty evil in my book. The government is there to protect the best interest of its people, and in the best interest of the people is, first and foremost, to be healthy. And by the way, governemnt does not act like a corporation (maximizing income etc) - it just too often does as corporations would have it.
@passta1 One of the main problems is the huge conflict of interest at the USDA. Their job is to protect America's big agricultural interests, while they're also the ones providing the public's nutritional guidelines. Giving that responsibility to an agency protecting industrialized meat, cheese, and junk food is like giving the responsibility for providing respiratory health guildelines to Phillip Morris.
The Governments evilness (or lack thereof is irrelevant). Regardless of the original intent of the policy enacted over thirty years ago with the change to the Farm Bill, the main problem is that it artificially deflates the price of, by and large an unhealthy food stuff.
As for supply and demand theory, it would be nice to think that people would do the right thing for themselves and stop eating junk, but the reality is that most people are motivated by cost and little else. Now, is that their problem? Perhaps, but the current system of subsidies is causing the prices of some of the most unhealthy foods to be the most affordablequite a quandary for some.
@LegalAlien100 Not just cost, time as well: plenty of junkfood-eating households are either single-parent or have two parents working long hours to try and keep the family afloat financially. It's far less time-consuming to pick up junkfood on the way home than it is to shop for and prepare a healthy meal from scratch. I'm not sure how to address that, but I think teaching all kids basic nutrition and cooking in school would be a good start - too many people don't even know how to cook anymore.
@Nephtys80 I have heard of the time factor argument too. I appreciate that life can be tremenously demanding for many, but I bet you many of those busy people still find time to sit down infront of the TV at night at least for a bit.
@LegalAlien100 Good point. It's particularly amazing how people can manage to find the time to watch three hours of cooking shows on Food Network, and then complain that they don't have time to cook. I believe it was Michael Pollan who said that more and more these days, cooking is becoming a spectator sport. The celebrity chef is god, while the home cook is a dying breed.
Even just spending a half hour to an hour cooking up a simple meal from scratch is worth the effort to ensure good health. By the time I finish cooking every night it is often 9 or 10pm. I give up sitting watching TV to make sure my family eats well. It is a probelm with no easy sollution. As you say, perhaps education would be a good start.
@LegalAlien100 Same goes for me: I don't own a TV and I love to cook, for me it's my way to relax after a day's work. Like you, I often end up eating at 9 or 10, which is fine for me. However, I don't have kids: If you watch all of Food Inc., you see a younger daughter in the family featured who should be in bed by 10, and you hear the parents say they leave for work at six in the morning and come back at 9 or 10 at night. I wish they didn't feed their kids fast food, but I can see why they do
@Nephtys80 I am not saying that the points being made about the difficulties that families face are not relevant or acute; believe me I am very interested in seeing an intrinsic change to the Farm Bill and the general political attitude to food and subsides too.
@Nephtys80 I just think that everyone can be pro-active in working to address the issues that they face. I mean they even admit to realizing what they are doing is damaging them. Yes, the parents are home so late it is difficult for them to do much, but what about the elder daughter at 0:09 or even the younger daughter for that matter? Surely they can work together to cook a decent meal for themselves, not just rely on take-out delivered to them by their parents.
@LegalAlien100 That's actually a really good point - and it comes back to education: if kids are not learning how to cook at home, they should be learning in school, so that they can cook for themselves if their parents are not around to do it. I'm not from the US, but I read recently that in many families in the US this is the 2nd or even 3rd generation growing up not knowing how to cook,
@jasonfkg The government isn't making money on the junk food. If it wants maximum income to build roads, it could stop using tax money to subsidize the production of soy and corn and put that money straight into the roads in stead. It could also save massively on expenditure on healthcare if it started taxing unhealthy foods and subsidizing healthy ones, as more than half of the US health budget goes towards treating preventable diet-related diseases.
@LegalAlien100 Spot on correct. Meat is absurdly cheap these days. 100 years ago, average non-wealthy folks, if they ate meat daily, ate it in small amounts, often more as a flavoring than the main focus of the meal, and eating it in substantial portions was reserved for special occasions, like the good old Sunday roast. The idea of average ppl being able to afford huge amounts of meat 3 x a day every day was inconceivable until fairly recently.
As Pollan said, we've turned special occasion food into everyday food. Meat can certainly be part of a healthy diet, but NOT in the insanely huge amounts represented by the Standard American Diet (with its stunningly accurate acronym SAD). Mark Bittman notes that experts who are serious about disease reduction recommend that adults eat no more than just over half a pound of meat per WEEK. How much do most ppl eat per DAY? Half a pound.
Bittman also notes that sometimes all this concern over local, organic, free range, etc., can obscure the larger question of PROPORTION. If you took the proportions of meat and junk vs. fruit, veg and grain in the American diet and reversed them, you might get something approaching a healthy diet (20/80 instead of 80/20).
As Bittman says, ultimately it's not whether it's the most amazing cheeseburger from the gourmet steakhouse made with free range grass-fed beef or the industrial cheeseburger from McDonald's, or whether it's a locally-grown organic head of broccoli or a commercially produced head of broccoli from the supermarket. The ultimate question is: is it the cheeseburger or the head of broccoli.
@honeybear64 but thats not really what its about the fact is that even the fruits and vegetables are being chemically enhanced and being covered with harmful preservatives
@jasonfkg Demand is not the only reason they are cheaper, though. It's also because corn and soy form the basis of most unhealthy foods, and both are heavily subsidised in the US making the unhealthy food cheap to produce - more people buying healthy food alone will not change that. Something needs to happen at the policy level, too, which is going to be difficult with the corporations and food industry lobby having the strong grip they do over the relevant government agencies.
well, people it sound like we have a lot to do & change for our own good!!! most of the products i buy are organic and yes they are more expensive but i believe if we all get together we can change the way we eat and the way we live, after all is for our health and trust me this people dont care about nothing except MONEY and we are letting them do whatever they want to do with us feeding us with bad stuff and also abusing animals..once again we are the only ones that can stop them..
In fact, we have a lot of books and publications upon the subject, like pretty much the same kind of film: The future of food, books: The end of food, Bad food Britain, but the best one is Food Wars. The problem is most of the such films and books are alarming the problem, but usually have an inconclusive conclusion.
I can't speak for the UK i don't live there but here in the states we have a choice, rather good or bad. My point being that we need to take responsibilty for our own actions and stop blaming other for this so called epidemic. The truth is there and people are free to listen to it or not.
Responsibility in your meaning, I'm afraid, means for people - being able to understand a lot, about a food, themself, environment, fear-trade, waste... Oh... look at my idea:
olegmoskalev(.)net The Food Project About the future of food.
Maybe we can agree to disagree but i can see where you coming from. But the bottom line we all have a choice. My choice is to grow and raise my own food( i'm cheap) but i'm not going to bitch about some company making money and providing jobs. There are more important things for me to worry about.
@kenfla2 There is a long-term danger in monopolization, FDA/Monsanto collaboration might feed us with an extremely dangerous stuff. All people cannot, with all respect to the idea, sustain themselves with a home grown food...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Interesting,,,where is your proof. It don't make since to sell food that is going to kill off your customers. I have seen some problem in the industry but as a whole you are just full of shit. All you want to to do is make a big fuss that will kill jobs amd prehaps make money doing it. Just like Al Gore!
@kenfla2 apparently you've never heard of the tobacco industry, which knowingly sold a lethal product for decades and lied about its lethality, yet managed to make hundreds of billions. And you really need proof that fast food is unhealthy or that our diet has caused an epidemic of obesity and diabetes? Maybe you just need to eat more fast food. You'll figure it out.
spend millions on FDA and wosha to insure our food supply is safe and there is a safe work enviorment.. which translates to that the food supply is just as good as what you can grow, in some cases better. What more do you want?
2. Everybody has a choice. Everybody knows the risk of fast food or tobacco. So who the hell are you to try to take that choice away from me.
I think you need to learn how to spend your time more constructively and keep you 2 cents to yourself
@kenfla2 Watch "controlling our food" about Monsanto. There is plenty of proof.
I do actually agree with you on freedom of choice. However, we don't make other dangerous substances such as alcohol and tobacco available to children: they have to be adults before we allow them to make those choices about their health. The same is not true for the equally dangerous junk food: in stead, kids in the US are started early with govt-subsidized sugar-laden 'milk' and unhealthy food in school cafeterias.
They don't really care about their costumers, like Wall Mart don't care of healthy food unless it give them money and even higher margin!! In the UK in Sainsbury's shops, sometimes you can not buy any other bananas but fear trade ones... guess why?
@TheArtistNinja There will be no money if the customers are dead. Less not forget that when all the farmer was going bankrupt somebody had to come in just so we can eat. Who will you be complaining too if a desease pop up and destrod the crops when it could have been prevented if it wasn't for people like you bitching too much. Don't think it can't happen!! Now if you can't grow your own food, kill your own meat or go fishing then you get what you get. Cheers.
@kenfla2 Look. There is a WHOLE another story to this. Two different sides. But if I said anything people would think I am crazy. Just think. Money is power. When you have problems you go to the doctor than pharmacy. You wanna know what that means in Latin? Sorcery, RX means recipes. So anyways, you have another symptom, which means you go back asking for a prescription. All the money goes to the doctor. The world is about money.
So if what you are saying here is correct, then MacDonald's products that are healthy for people to eat. Instead, they sell junk food that makes people obese, giving rise to diabetes and heart attacks...
So how do the FACTS square with your OPINIONS...?
@nycullaSUCKS What? Haven't you notice that salad is on the menu at most fast food places? So its not an opinion, its a fact that peolple have a choice. Everyone in the free world knows that burgers are bad for you but they have a choice. A nice little salad or a big juicy quarter pounder with cheese. Does that answer you question?
Stop avoiding the issue. Your point was that it would make no sense for companies to "kill their own customers" by selling stuff that kills them. Cigarette manufacturers have done this for decades.
And yes, folk may have choice in a fast-food chain store, but with new laws removing the responsibility to say if food is GM, what choice is there in that? You have no idea what is in half the food you eat.
What about people being fined for growing food on their own land...?
On another issue...what's your opinion on fluoride in the public water supply? How do you feel abou the fact that fluoride is the principal ingredient in rat poison?
@nycullaSUCKS avoiding what issue? I made my point-everybody knows fast food and smoking is bad. Cigarettes has a warning label on every pack you buy and yet people choose to smoke. So where are you confused about my answer?
Fluoride-read up on it, i just did. I don't see a problem. Lets keep in mind that it accures naturally too. Lets stop tooth decay.
As for people getting fined, thats fucked up!!!! I don't know what is going on in the UK but here in the states we have this Bill
Of course folk have the choice to smoke, or not to smoke...
I am making the point that since tobacco companies sell a product that kills people, your argument that if "there are no customers, then there is no money", doesn't seem to bother the tobacco companies...
@nycullaSUCKS We have this Bill that is in limbo right know for a year but it already pass half the senete and i have to say it scares the shit out of me. Right now, the way i read it, its only for people who has a farmers market. Now i'm all for big buisness, thats where jobs come from but i want to keep my choice of rather or not i buy there product. Man if they get the patient on seeds we are all fucked. Was i unclear about that?
@kenfla2 You can eat a burger that's fine. But, try finding a burger that contains safe meat that isn't made of thousands of different cows, buns that don't have a thousand different chemicals, lettuce treated with 12 chemicals to keep it fresh, How about a real burger made with real food? Burgers are bad for you sure, I love burgers, I'd like a real burger, not the "idea" of a burger.
@Thycid There is no such thing as safe food of any sort unless you grow it yourself. that is the price we pay for being lazy. I don't believe they are putting chemicals in the food.
@kenfla2 It's not about being lazy. I grow my own food and eat organic from farmers markets as often as I can. But I, or any other average American isn't going to grow a field of wheat or corn to make some bread, or raise cattle just to eat themselves. It has nothing to do with being lazy. Lazy is someone who goes to a drive through or eats out because they don't want to cook a meal for their family even though they have the time.
Compare calories, not packages, to see the real difference. It is EXCEPTIONALLY less expensive to get your calories from junk food (which is less filling, thus you eat more calories than you otherwise would) than it is to get your calories from fresh produce.
That "powerful food industry" just got a LOT stronger with the horrifying Supreme Court decision last week to let corporations spend as much as they want on buying elections and politicians! Sadly, our democracy is beginning to fail. We really need to do something to end this corporate oligarchy
Ya, I'll do that, so where can I get any vegetables for the other 8 months of the year. It's January, challenge yourself to walk into your grocery store any buy nothing form the produce department, just frozen!
Oh yes, I had netflix but had to give it up because of expenses. I just signed up for the Blockbuster online trial and received it today. Unfortunately you have to pay to watch movies online there:( Thank you so much for the info!
So glad I will soon be moving out of the USA to a country where there are fresh veggie markets and the people live off the land. There is hardly anything I can find healthy to eat here!
I'd like to mention that the fillers in many burgers at different establishments like McDonalds mostly fast food chains... contain amonia... which causes cancer... hey are we not the country with the highest number of cancer cases....?
Do we have a very large number of total cancer cases? Yes. We also have the third largest population in the world. If you compare cancer statistics relative to population size, we are not the highest.
glad I don't live in America anymore - once you get out of the american food system, your body does jumping-jacks flushing out all that crap when you start eating real food....
If you think you are not affected cause you are not living in America, think again. What ketchup is on your hot dog? What do you drink with your hot dog? Where is your meat produced?
For real! This isn't just "America's problem". This is a global problem. If you think it doesn't affect you because you don't live in this country, then your completely ignorant of how the world works.
americans have been so worried about a Orwellian totalitarian state that they turned a blind eye as the nation became a dystopia similar to the one described by Aldous Huxley in brave new world. Take your soma and feel better while corporate America slowly exploits and controls your policies and your lives.

I'd really hate to ask this, but I live in upstate New York, and while I live near Albany, when I visit my family, I drive past dozens and dozens of farms with their cows hanging out on large pastures grazing on the grass to their hearts' delight. If the milk and the beef come from cattle who live in terrible, dark boxes all their lives, where do the products of all these happy cows go to? I don't mean to be rude, but it's bothering me.

@ABookwormAndProud Perhaps those are some of the very few organic farms, where organic meat and milk come from.

It is about being lazy! If someone wants to go to the drive through instead of cooking then its nobodies fault except theirs. You know, the problem with the free world is that we have it so good that we have nothing better to do but to bitch. Some maybe for good reasons but most, i bet, are something someone made up to cause problems. There was a time, i must amitt, that there was a problem with the food supply but all that has changed for the better. People needs to stop playing the victim

These people are bullshitting. Buying fast food everyday is far more expensive than cooking your own food. They're making excuses. The director could have been a little more honest and revealed the math rather than just saying X cost more up front while Y cost less. Why not say in the long run, buying X is cheaper than Y? Other than that small issue, it's a good movie.

@gvi341984 The options are not eating hyper-processed food or starving, they are anywhere on a spectrum between eating hyper-processed all the time (with high risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes etc) and eating fresh, local, seasonal, and unprocessed (a lot healthier but more expensive and difficult). If we could move a little towards the local, seasonal and unprocessed side, it would be very good for people and the environment.

I would be inclined to agree with you on this one. I would be able to buy them beans, rice, a tomato and tortillas and give them a cup of water, and I bet you I could keep it healthy and under $11. The question is, would they be willing to eat it day in and day out?
LegalAlien100 1 year ago
@LegalAlien100 Why not? Plenty of people eat burgers and fries day-in, day out - If I had to choose one it would definitely be the beans and rice! But no-one has to choose one of the other for ever, there is a far greater variety of healthier food available - even at $11 - than there is of fast food.
Nephtys80 1 year ago
@Nephtys80 I think that it is about expection. People only eat the same neccesities day in and day out because they can't afford anthing else. When the cultural expections demand more variety and fat it is hard to sell the idea of a basic diet to its members. Having seen the damage caused by this 'rich' alternantive I too would choose the beans and rice diet anyday. Most people are pick though and expect more.
LegalAlien100 1 year ago
The reason unhealthy foods are cheaper is because those are the foods people buy. Just buy healthy foods lol. If you hate how cows and chickens are treated in feed lots, buy lamb or another animal that can't be put into a feed lot because they eat sensibly. If you hate Monsanto's monopoly, buy organic, but you can't blame McDonalds and Wal-Mart for giving customers what they continue to buy.
jasonfkg 2 years ago
you have a point. but consider this: if organic/healthy food was advertised as agressivly & available as easily as junk food, what do you think people would buy?

Probably still junk food. I think everyone knows junk food is bad for you, but the fact is junk food is cheaper. You can buy many more hamburgers than carrots for the same amount of money. Some people just can't afford to buy organic and healthy food.
jasonfkg 1 year ago
yes. that's another major point. and also, people who eat junk a lot get hooked on the taste, so veggies and other healthy stuff start tasting awful. + the sugar rush you get out of junk food. so it's all kinda like a drug. Wonder what's worse for your health (or more addictive) pot or junk food?
passta1 1 year ago 17
@jasonfkg Re: affording organic and healthy food - looking at standard portion sizes (and belly sizes) these days and comparing them to standard portion sizes 50 years ago, I'd say one good way for people to reduce how much they need to spend on food is to stop eating so damn much of it. Not that many people will.
honeybear64 1 year ago
@jasonfkg The reason why unhealthy foods are cheaper is not because they are the foods that people buy, it is because the government subsidies are concentrated on corn and soy and not on vegetables. That is why corn is fed to animals, because it is cheap. Thus meat is cheap.
If we want to improve our health as a nation we have to seriously look at what these subsidies are doing to our agriculture as a whole.
LegalAlien100 1 year ago
I think simplifying the reason why junk food is cheaper down to one factor is a bit much. The government isn't evil. It wants the maximum income, just like any other business, so it can build roads, etc. If we stop buying junk food, the government will probably stop subsidizing it seeing there is no longer any market.
jasonfkg 1 year ago
well, if you want maximum income at, basically, any cost - that is pretty evil in my book. The government is there to protect the best interest of its people, and in the best interest of the people is, first and foremost, to be healthy. And by the way, governemnt does not act like a corporation (maximizing income etc) - it just too often does as corporations would have it.
passta1 1 year ago
@passta1 One of the main problems is the huge conflict of interest at the USDA. Their job is to protect America's big agricultural interests, while they're also the ones providing the public's nutritional guidelines. Giving that responsibility to an agency protecting industrialized meat, cheese, and junk food is like giving the responsibility for providing respiratory health guildelines to Phillip Morris.
honeybear64 1 year ago
The Governments evilness (or lack thereof is irrelevant). Regardless of the original intent of the policy enacted over thirty years ago with the change to the Farm Bill, the main problem is that it artificially deflates the price of, by and large an unhealthy food stuff.
LegalAlien100 1 year ago
As for supply and demand theory, it would be nice to think that people would do the right thing for themselves and stop eating junk, but the reality is that most people are motivated by cost and little else. Now, is that their problem? Perhaps, but the current system of subsidies is causing the prices of some of the most unhealthy foods to be the most affordablequite a quandary for some.
LegalAlien100 1 year ago
@LegalAlien100 Not just cost, time as well: plenty of junkfood-eating households are either single-parent or have two parents working long hours to try and keep the family afloat financially. It's far less time-consuming to pick up junkfood on the way home than it is to shop for and prepare a healthy meal from scratch. I'm not sure how to address that, but I think teaching all kids basic nutrition and cooking in school would be a good start - too many people don't even know how to cook anymore.
Nephtys80 1 year ago
@Nephtys80 I have heard of the time factor argument too. I appreciate that life can be tremenously demanding for many, but I bet you many of those busy people still find time to sit down infront of the TV at night at least for a bit.
LegalAlien100 1 year ago
@LegalAlien100 Good point. It's particularly amazing how people can manage to find the time to watch three hours of cooking shows on Food Network, and then complain that they don't have time to cook. I believe it was Michael Pollan who said that more and more these days, cooking is becoming a spectator sport. The celebrity chef is god, while the home cook is a dying breed.
honeybear64 1 year ago
@honeybear64 'A spectator sport' I like that, it's a very apt discription!
LegalAlien100 1 year ago
Even just spending a half hour to an hour cooking up a simple meal from scratch is worth the effort to ensure good health. By the time I finish cooking every night it is often 9 or 10pm. I give up sitting watching TV to make sure my family eats well. It is a probelm with no easy sollution. As you say, perhaps education would be a good start.
LegalAlien100 1 year ago
@LegalAlien100 Same goes for me: I don't own a TV and I love to cook, for me it's my way to relax after a day's work. Like you, I often end up eating at 9 or 10, which is fine for me. However, I don't have kids: If you watch all of Food Inc., you see a younger daughter in the family featured who should be in bed by 10, and you hear the parents say they leave for work at six in the morning and come back at 9 or 10 at night. I wish they didn't feed their kids fast food, but I can see why they do
Nephtys80 1 year ago
@Nephtys80 I am not saying that the points being made about the difficulties that families face are not relevant or acute; believe me I am very interested in seeing an intrinsic change to the Farm Bill and the general political attitude to food and subsides too.
LegalAlien100 1 year ago
@Nephtys80 I just think that everyone can be pro-active in working to address the issues that they face. I mean they even admit to realizing what they are doing is damaging them. Yes, the parents are home so late it is difficult for them to do much, but what about the elder daughter at 0:09 or even the younger daughter for that matter? Surely they can work together to cook a decent meal for themselves, not just rely on take-out delivered to them by their parents.
LegalAlien100 1 year ago
@LegalAlien100 That's actually a really good point - and it comes back to education: if kids are not learning how to cook at home, they should be learning in school, so that they can cook for themselves if their parents are not around to do it. I'm not from the US, but I read recently that in many families in the US this is the 2nd or even 3rd generation growing up not knowing how to cook,
Nephtys80 1 year ago
@jasonfkg The government isn't making money on the junk food. If it wants maximum income to build roads, it could stop using tax money to subsidize the production of soy and corn and put that money straight into the roads in stead. It could also save massively on expenditure on healthcare if it started taxing unhealthy foods and subsidizing healthy ones, as more than half of the US health budget goes towards treating preventable diet-related diseases.
Nephtys80 1 year ago
@LegalAlien100 Spot on correct. Meat is absurdly cheap these days. 100 years ago, average non-wealthy folks, if they ate meat daily, ate it in small amounts, often more as a flavoring than the main focus of the meal, and eating it in substantial portions was reserved for special occasions, like the good old Sunday roast. The idea of average ppl being able to afford huge amounts of meat 3 x a day every day was inconceivable until fairly recently.
honeybear64 1 year ago
As Pollan said, we've turned special occasion food into everyday food. Meat can certainly be part of a healthy diet, but NOT in the insanely huge amounts represented by the Standard American Diet (with its stunningly accurate acronym SAD). Mark Bittman notes that experts who are serious about disease reduction recommend that adults eat no more than just over half a pound of meat per WEEK. How much do most ppl eat per DAY? Half a pound.
honeybear64 1 year ago
Bittman also notes that sometimes all this concern over local, organic, free range, etc., can obscure the larger question of PROPORTION. If you took the proportions of meat and junk vs. fruit, veg and grain in the American diet and reversed them, you might get something approaching a healthy diet (20/80 instead of 80/20).
honeybear64 1 year ago
As Bittman says, ultimately it's not whether it's the most amazing cheeseburger from the gourmet steakhouse made with free range grass-fed beef or the industrial cheeseburger from McDonald's, or whether it's a locally-grown organic head of broccoli or a commercially produced head of broccoli from the supermarket. The ultimate question is: is it the cheeseburger or the head of broccoli.

@honeybear64 but thats not really what its about the fact is that even the fruits and vegetables are being chemically enhanced and being covered with harmful preservatives
rodb11994 1 year ago
@jasonfkg Demand is not the only reason they are cheaper, though. It's also because corn and soy form the basis of most unhealthy foods, and both are heavily subsidised in the US making the unhealthy food cheap to produce - more people buying healthy food alone will not change that. Something needs to happen at the policy level, too, which is going to be difficult with the corporations and food industry lobby having the strong grip they do over the relevant government agencies.
Nephtys80 1 year ago
well, people it sound like we have a lot to do & change for our own good!!! most of the products i buy are organic and yes they are more expensive but i believe if we all get together we can change the way we eat and the way we live, after all is for our health and trust me this people dont care about nothing except MONEY and we are letting them do whatever they want to do with us feeding us with bad stuff and also abusing animals..once again we are the only ones that can stop them..

I do actually agree with you on freedom of choice.

The same is not true for the equally dangerous junk food: in stead, kids in the US are started early with govt-subsidized sugar-laden 'milk' and unhealthy food in school cafeterias.

Compare calories, not packages, to see the real difference. It is EXCEPTIONALLY less expensive to get your calories from junk food (which is less filling, thus you eat more calories than you otherwise would) than it is to get your calories from fresh produce.

That "powerful food industry" just got a LOT stronger with the horrifying Supreme Court decision last week to let corporations spend as much as they want on buying elections and politicians! Sadly, our democracy is beginning to fail. We really need to do something to end this corporate oligarchy

If you watch food inc it makes you think twice before you take a bite off that big mac at mcdonalds.

Ya, I'll do that, so where can I get any vegetables for the other 8 months of the year. It's January, challenge yourself to walk into your grocery store any buy nothing form the produce department, just frozen!

@katnip43 netflix, if you get their membership, I think you can watch it on the internet or if you have a PS3, or 360, you can watch on your PC.

Oh yes, I had netflix but had to give it up because of expenses. I just signed up for the Blockbuster online trial and received it today. Unfortunately you have to pay to watch movies online there:( Thank you so much for the info!

So glad I will soon be moving out of the USA to a country where there are fresh veggie markets and the people live off the land. There is hardly anything I can find healthy to eat here!

I'd like to mention that the fillers in many burgers at different establishments like McDonalds mostly fast food chains... contain amonia... which causes cancer... hey are we not the country with the highest number of cancer cases....?
Andres60state 2 years ago 3
Do we have a very large number of total cancer cases? Yes. We also have the third largest population in the world. If you compare cancer statistics relative to population size, we are not the highest.

glad I don't live in America anymore - once you get out of the american food system, your body does jumping-jacks flushing out all that crap when you start eating real food....

If you think you are not affected cause you are not living in America, think again. What ketchup is on your hot dog? What do you drink with your hot dog? Where is your meat produced?

For real! This isn't just "America's problem". This is a global problem. If you think it doesn't affect you because you don't live in this country, then your completely ignorant of how the world works.

americans have been so worried about a Orwellian totalitarian state that they turned a blind eye as the nation became a dystopia similar to the one described by Aldous Huxley in brave new world. Take your soma and feel better while corporate America slowly exploits and controls your policies and your lives.
